A "Prophet's Thumbprint" is a birthmark in the form of an indentation, usually found on the side of a horse’s neck, and it is totally harmless although it comes with a lovely legendary story!
The Prophet Mohammed was wandering the desert with his herd of horses
for many days, and as they approached an oasis he sent them forth to
drink. But as the thirsty horses approached the water, he called them
back. Only five of his mares stopped and returned to him, and to thank
them for their loyalty he blessed them by pressing his thumbprint into
their necks.
It’s believed that a horse with such a mark will be outstanding, being a descendant of one of these brood mares that the Prophet Mohammed particularly treasured.
